Spend summer vacation productively and meaningfully by joining summer courses in computer or by attending summer camps to enhance your life skills. Learn something new, that is, learn to play a musical instrument, a new language, learn to type faster, or swim, etc.

High schoolers may seek part-time jobs which not only bring money but also some experience: take an internship in media, advertising agencies, newspapers, hotels, or hospitals.

Enable yourself to be socially conscious: volunteer at old age homes and homes for special children. Read for the blind and dyslexic. Share your knowledge by educating the poor and needy street children.
Plant a garden, become a volunteer with local social agencies like “Go Green”. Try meditation, yoga, and asanas, to de-stress yourself. Read books and improve your reading, writing and communicative skills.
